Hi, I am "new" - haven't been here for a while, but am back. Gained 40 pounds in the last six months. Husband was sick, I ate because I was worried, and now he is better and I am fatter.
It is always hard to start again. Hard to get through that first day. Because of the weight gain, I have exacerbated physical issues, like back pain, neck pain, and now a new thing - twisted knee. I exercise every day, but that doesn't seem to keep the weight off.
So here is hoping I can make this work this year. I have never had high blood pressure, but now I am on the edge, and I am also starting to have a little higher on my cholesterol. It is amazing what gaining weight can do!
I am hoping to spend more time on these boards getting and giving support!

Thanks for the support!
Tefrey, it is good to hear that people come out of bad times and succeed. Sometimes it seems impossible. It is even more difficult when you are an emotional eater! When I am in discomfort I eat too!! It is my medicine for just about anything.
I look forward to learning some new ways to cope!
